Pear chair: features, colors and choices

Comfortable and practical chairs are a key element in furnishing any home. They can be different, and this is what brings a special atmosphere to the interior. Among the variety of models, pear chairs are in special consumer demand. In the material of this article, the reader is presented with a complete overview of these products.

The pear chair is a kind of frameless furniture. It is a pear-shaped bean bag chair that is available for children and adults. The product consists of two covers (inner and outer) and a filler. In the professional environment, it is called a bin bag. It does not have rigid parts like classic and pendant counterparts. Italy is considered the birthplace of armchairs. The first copies appeared in it in 1968. However, if previously the packing was extremely free-flowing, today the filler materials can be different. A distinctive feature of the models is the presence of a drop-shaped back.

The device of the pouf is quite simple. The symmetrical inner cover made of smooth textile is filled with special padding. A cover is put on top with a hidden meter-long zipper and a special hole for air release. The design has a convenient carrying handle.

The pear chair is appreciated not only by ordinary buyers, but also by professional designers. It is considered comfortable because the human body can assume a lot of comfortable postures in it. Such furniture has many advantages. For example, it is distinguished by:

• original appearance;
• the richest choice of color solutions;
• variability of the cover material;
• operational safety;
• environmental friendliness and mobility;
• compactness and durability.

Such products weigh from 3 to 7 kg, if desired, they can be transferred from room to room. In addition, they make excellent "houses" in children's games. The materials used for the top and padding are non-toxic, and therefore the chairs are suitable for furnishing homes for allergy sufferers. They look stylish, neat and modern. Due to the filler, they can support the back of a person, and in rare models, also the head. These chairs can be taken out into the garden, they will decorate the gazebo, veranda, terrace. Thanks to them, rest in the country can become many times more comfortable. They cannot be broken, because there is no rigid frame inside.

Among other advantages, it is worth noting the ability to wash the outer covers. This allows you to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the products. In addition, covers for such bags can be purchased or made by yourself.

These chairs are suitable for people of different ages and sizes. The pouf pear does not crack or break under the user's weight. If necessary, it can be stored in a niche or cabinet. In this case, several products can be stacked on top of each other. Along with the advantages, the soft drop-shaped beanbag chair also has disadvantages. The material of the outer cover gets dirty faster than the covers of regular furniture. The pear ottoman can slide on the floor, which has to be washed more often. Its lower part accumulates dust, it quickly loses its aesthetics.

Such furniture is not able to replace full-fledged orthopedic chairs or furniture for proper relaxation. It does not force the user to take the correct position for the spine. In addition, the backrest in most models is not high enough.

The material of the top of such products is not insured against accidental mechanical cuts. In the event of a cut in the inner cover, a separate type of filler simply crumbles across the floor. Collecting it is problematic, since it spoils the technique. In addition, the filler is not always durable. Some of its varieties require replacement during operation. Pets like these products very much. Often, dogs or cats perceive pear chairs as their beds. At the same time, especially playful pets allow themselves to tear the upholstery with their teeth or claws. This leads to the need to replace the cover, not only external, but also internal.

After poufs-bags, it is difficult to sit in standard armchairs. It is very quick to get used to them, but it is absolutely unacceptable to completely replace the correct furniture with them. These chairs are designed for relaxation, while you can sit and lie in them, but not all the time. This is lounge-type furniture.

In the production of frameless pear poufs, different raw materials are used. This explains the differences in durability, aesthetics and appropriateness in a particular design.

Removable covers made of artificial leather, oxford, flock, micro-corduroy and velor... Each type of material has its own characteristics. For example, leather varieties are distinguished by unpretentious care, a wide choice of colors and respectable appearance. Products with such covers can be taken out into the street, they will not fade under the sun and will not change their properties in the heat.

Oxford is considered to be one of the best high quality materials. Thanks to such covers, pouf pillows do not get wet and do not absorb dust. The fabric is resistant to dirt and corrosive odors.

Flock and corduroy are pleasant to the touch. It is a pleasure to be in such chairs. Both materials are practical and durable and can be washed several times. It is not difficult to remove pet hair from them, they are easy to care for.

Velor covers are soft and have a wide range of colors. This fabric is elastic and attractive; such covers look expensive and impressive. Among budget fabrics, jacquard is worth noting. The outer covers sewn from it are distinguished by their density and interesting colors.

Besides, in production they can use scotchguard, thermohackard, chenille, artificial suede, natural leather and arpatek... Some materials (for example, chenille) are not suitable for washing or even damp cleaning. Others are water-permeable, with most of the range being UV resistant.

For sewing inner covers, bona fide manufacturers use dense coarse calico. In addition to it, the stuffing covers are made of perforated spandbond. The materials are notable for their low cost and optimal strength characteristics.

The pear-shaped stuffing of frameless chairs varies. Most often, products are given volume with the help of expanded polystyrene balls or granules. Such a filler is quite hygienic, it is hygroscopic, lightweight, and resistant to high humidity. It is durable and can withstand heavy weight loads. Models for adults and children can be filled with such balls. At the same time, from 60 to 550 liters of material (from 1 to 9 packages) is used for 1 product. The advantage of the stuffing is inertness to the absorption of odors. Thanks to the padding, such a chair keeps its shape for a long time.

Some manufacturers use crushed foam rubber or chalabirin in their production. Others use polypropylene, polyurethane foam and holofiber. Natural fillers include legumes, rice and buckwheat hulls. Someone is filling frameless bags with sawdust or shavings. You can stuff a pear-shaped cushion chair with a double type of material.To do this, take granules of expanded polystyrene and foam rubber, combining them in a 70/30 ratio. The size of the balls can be up to 4-5 mm. Larger granules reduce the flowing effect. Small ones (1-2 mm in diameter) make the ottomans heavier.

Produce pear chairs 5 different sizes:

• mini (S) - 60x90 cm (children's versions with filling from 60 to 120-150 liters);
• medium (M) - 70x100 cm (models for teenagers with padded poufs up to 280-300 l);

Among the models with covers of different colors, colors with a geometric print are relevant. Children take products with multi-colored circles or triangles on a light or gray background. Besides, on sale there are options with drawings of cartoon characters (Luntik, SpongeBob), butterflies, cars... Adults like chairs with ethnic patterns or abstraction, small checks, polka dots, and Indian designs.

You need to buy a product taking into account several criteria. You need to pay attention to the density of the filling. During operation, shrinkage is not excluded. Therefore, experts recommend taking the packing together with the product. It is better to purchase models filled with expanded polystyrene balls. Some manufacturers save on the material of the inner cover. If it is not there, replacing the cover simply will not work. Such a product will quickly become unusable, even if the material of the top is dense. It cannot be washed, which will shorten the service life. It does not have an air outlet.

Each pear chair must have a long zipper. Its minimum length is 80 cm, the maximum can exceed 1 m. During the inspection process, you need to open and close the zipper. Its course should be smooth, no jamming of the lock.

When buying options for the street, you need to consider the weather. You need to take products with a top material that is not afraid of moisture. If you plan to take the chair outside, you should take a closer look at the options made of oxford and faux leather. In order for the load on the cover materials to be low during landing, you need to take models with drainage rings. If they are not there, air will escape through the crevices of the seams. Such products serve less than traditional counterparts. The inner cover must be strong and secure.

To make it easier to carry, you need to take options with a special handle located at the top of the back. The same handle will allow you to hang the product on a hook if you want to use it as a hanging country chair. When buying, you need to take into account the height of the back, as well as the size of the product itself. In large armchairs you can not only sit, but also lie. They can be rotated as desired.
